Just Keep Flowin'...

Folder: 
Mad FLow

It's mad out there in

the world I live.

The kid fights everyday

to keep it positive.

I have to keep my head tight

cause I gotta keep goin'.

And make sure my game's tight

so I could just keep flowin'.



Day after day, I watch my

hoodie's demise,

cause cats stay rollin' that

ghetto corner enterprise.

But my goal is not to end up

in my building laced with flies.

So I just keep flowin'

and try to keep my actions wise.



Uncles and crackhead aunts,

sisters and crackhead brothers.

Babies havin' babies,

often soon discover,

He stole your entire childhood,

when he took you undercover.

You have to love yourself,

before you can love others.

So I Just keep flowin', and

say "No" to honor my mother.



My freedom from these streets

is, one day, gonna come.

And I'll travel to those places

where there ain't no need to run.

But until then, I duck those

substances that'll surely get ya done.

And I try to just keep flowin'

like a river in the Sun.



So pay heed to the brother's message,

take it like a Sunday meal.

No matter where the hoodie, keep

your cypher tight and check the seal.

Show love to all around you,

and give them something they can feel.

And no matter what, just keep flowin'.

Cause to keep the flow...is to keep it real.
